(1 point)
○ when you talked about the nutritional value of milk, were you talking about cows or goats?
○ did you know that some of the information you gave about milk is incorrect?
○ can we look up the information you gave about milk to make sure it’s right?
○ if you meant cow’s milk earlier, where did you get that information?

Explanation:

George's confusion is about which animal (cow or goat) the nutritional value information of milk referred to. Option A directly clarifies the subject (cow or goat) of the milk's nutritional value discussion, which is the core of his uncertainty. Option B is accusatory, not clarifying. Option C is about verifying later, not clarifying the statement. Option D is about the source, not the subject of the milk discussion.

Answer:

A. When you talked about the nutritional value of milk, were you talking about cows or goats?
